I don't disagree that he didn't pitch well in the playoffs, he did, but one decent playoff performance and he thinks he deserves 90 mill? No.

He has a career losing record and a 3.75 era which is average. He hasn't had one year where his stats catch my eye as impressive. He's an innings eater, he pitches good to contact, he's an alright pitcher as a #3 guy.

I say the Jays look elsewhere unless he drops his price. Sure Greinke will get 25 mil he's also won a CY Young and has a much better strike out ratio, win loss record.

i honestly think we should try and sign marcum and e jackson. then trade 4 a good number 2 or 3 starter. then keep alvarez, happ, jenkins, etc as depth in case of injuries. i think that would be the best way to go.

I think Sanchez gets at least 5 years and at least $14M per season. I wouldn't be surpised at all if someone gives him 6yrs $90M. He's not an "ace" or likely to be a Cy Young candidate, but those guys get $20M+ per year. He's only 28 and I know people like to say he's at most a #3, but the reality is that on most teams he's at least a #2.

Agreed it's become a joke. Sanchez is good #2 and a great #3 but I guarantee someone will pay him as a #1. My guess is 6/90 is pretty damn close to what he signs for when all said and done. Who honestly thought Fielder and Pujols would have got those monster deals last year?? There is always some idiot ready to pay hence salaries keep going up. Hard cap is needed bad.

No way should AA cave into Sanchez's ******** demand's. Marcum would be a good signing and make a trade or two and I'll be happy.
I'm sure people will get pissed if AA doesn't make a big splash in FA but other than Greinke there really isn't much for starters. We might have a huge need for pitching next year but unless you can sign an Ace I wouldn't overpay not with the Big three, Hutch and Drabek all being ready the year after next or sooner.
